I’ve been sick with cancer and so was so nice to hear my kids giggling and chuckling and playing games and doing all the fun things that we do together even though I didn’t participate very often I did get to hear them
We loved our stay at this location. It had easy access to everything, they were communicative, had all the basics covered, and it was seamless getting in and out to the house and the neighborhood- which they kept well plowed. Our only issues were that there was broken-up candy pieces in one of the rooms in the window seal and hair and/or fur in the sheets of one of the beds. Also, we didn't realize it until we were at the property, but the pool table and foosball table shown in the pictures aren't in the home, they are in the neighborhood clubhouse, which we couldn't access during the winter. We would definitely recommend staying at this location.

Great location
Lots of space to spread out. Large grassy lot for games and enjoying being outside. Clean and fresh. Wanted to watch the Olympics but only the master bedroom tv worked. Community pool and hot tub. Close to the grocery store and the lake. Beds are extra firm most of us left with sore backs. Overall it is a great house.
Wonderful off season visit to Bear Lake with family. The house was perfect with everyone having their own bedroom and plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and the table was awesome for family dinners. The hot tub was a great way to end the day.

great place.
kids loved the house..everyone was comfy and ping pong was a hit. car. charger was a plus.
We had 21 people for a reunion and the house was perfect! Everything was very clean when we arrived and there were 3 big rooms for kids to spread out and adults to be able to visit. We were close to a grocery store and not far from the north shore of Bear Lake. The hot tub was a hit with everyone and the community pool was just a short walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice house, uncomfortable beds
We really enjoyed the house and where it was located. It was roomy with space to enjoy. We would stay here again except for the beds were not comfortable at all. They were very hard/too firm and so uncomfortable.

Great place for a reunion
We had 21 members of our family here for a reunion. The house was fantastic! Very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. There are 3 large spaces for visiting which was very nice. The kids could be in one area playing and the adults in another. The hot tub was a great bonus and the neighborhood pool was within easy walking distance. There is also a grocery store a short walk away which is handy for last minute needs. We all had a wonderful time!
Privacy for us in the hot tub could be better but overall the hot tub was great. We had a bad night from a fire alarm due to dust, not the owner or managers fault.
The home was very suitable for our large family. The home was clean with all the necessary kitchen supplies. The children's toy area under the stairs was wonderful and heavily utilized. The hot tub was great. The nicely trimmed grassy area was perfect for kid games and water fights. The clubhouse pool was easy to access and fun for all. The location was close to the grocery store and gas station. All-in-all, a very enjoyable weekend. A couple of negatives: within an hour of arriving, the ping-pong table had collapsed on my granddaughter. It appeared the previous occupants had knocked one leg loose along with the support brackets and lost all the screws - I have photos. Then they just set it back up. The first touch of the table knocked it down. Also, the grass was cut just prior to our arriving and the clippings weren’t caught – then with watering and dew the grass was always wet. We spent the next two days cleaning up the floor from tracked in grass clippings. Seems like a small thing to complain about but we spent a lot of time sweeping for such a simple thing to remedy.

The Blue Bear is the perfect Bear Lake home
The layout of the home with a large kitchen and kitchen table to sit 14-18 people is the perfect place for a large family. The floor plan with three bedrooms on the main level and three bedrooms upstairs allowed for privacy and quiet for everyone. The flat, grassy yard is perfect for playing games like spike ball and ramp shot!
The amenities like the jacuzzi is wonderful to relax before bed time. The location of the neighborhood was convenient to many eating places or to walk/bike to the lake beach or rent a boat or other watercraft at the Marina! We will be making it a tradition to stay at the Blue Bear again and again!!

Big Blue Rocks It!
We had a group of 16 and had plenty for room. Beautiful new home, perfect for kids. We will definitely stay there again!
Open and airy. Plenty of room for the 9 of us (didn’t use one room, or all the bunk beds in others). Kitchen had most amenities (even an instant pot), could have used a liquid measuring cup. The kitchen is pretty narrow in the cooking area so it is a one-butt-kitchen, and required walking around the island if someone else was trying to help. Included all the trash bags/dishwasher soap/laundry soap you could need.
Grocery store (Mike’s) and fuel were about a block away so super convenient. And the store had most everything we needed.
I believe this home is owned by VRBO as there was nothing personal about the house. It was like a large hotel with white sheets/towels and signs posted all over telling you what to do and what not to do.
There was a very friendly neighbor cat (grey) that visited us everyday and made the grandkids very happy. It must visit all renters because we had the deck door open (no screen doors on the house) for some morning air and it walked right in. So, please be nice to her and give her a taste of whatever you are eating.
The house garage door and the front doors lock after being opened and closed for a few minutes, so having to constantly enter the code to get in is a tad frustrating when you are going in and out, but I understand the need.
The roku kept overheating as it is against the TV. We ended up putting a fan blowing up behind the TV, which seemed to work.
I felt the cleaning fees were excessive (sanitize the spa = throw a BUNCH of chlorine in it). Our 8-day stay from July 1-8 was way too much with unexpected fees st booking.
This home was absolutely beautiful. Everything was well designed (I want this floorplan for myself) and was able to host our large group easily. The upstairs loft and rec-room were so much fun and made it feel like we weren't all living on top of each other. The beds were super comfy and the highchair and kid's toys were a very appreciated bonus. Hope to come back!
